Make a direct link to proofreading

kirkmc

If I want to proofread a text, I have to do the following:

Go to Kagi.com.
Click the four squares menu.
Click Translate.
Click Proofread.
Click Best (because why bother proofreading using a lesser model?)

I could save a few clicks by bookmarking the Proofread page, but it would be more practical if there was a direct link in the four squares menu, in part because a lot of people don't know that Translate also includes proofreading. Because proofreading is not translation, even if it's using the same back end.

That'd be very specific to include in the four squares menu though tbf.

the !proofread bang doesn't seem to work (noticed this myself, but haven't had time to look into it) (if you use it without text)

but you can create your own bang for this

Thibaultmol Ah, thanks. I really just want Proofread in the four squares menu (does that have an official name like the hamburger menu?), so people know it exists.

Thibaultmol The proofread bang seems to work for me. Regarding discoverability of the Proofread feature, is this something anyone else has noticed as being an issue?

TIL the proofreading feature exists!

kirkmc

pbronez Exactly!

pbronez I am in the same boat as you. Did not know this feature existed, there is surely a discoverability issue.

Thanks for the feedback on this! We're gonna look into ways to surface Proofread better.

Proofread is such a good feature and I am a bit confused why it’s lumped with translate. It makes it feel like an afterthought even though it’s actually pretty good. I wish there was like a proofread.kagi.com so it’s quicker to get to.
